  • Great Pod

    A great podcast for any Swindon Town FC fan, keeps the good feelings going after a win and making me laugh after a loss. Only issue is the intro and outro are far too long lads, just get into the pod, would rather hear you guys.

  • Poor audio

    No one is interested in your travel to games. You don’t need a long intro.
